JOTW: "Heart & Soul of New York City" - Red Cafe

This shit was my anthem at the end of last summer. I initially peeped Red Cafe's "Heart & Soul of New York City" in August, just before I took my first hit of the crack that is New York City. This shit just sounded like what I thought would be a summer day in the NYC. I was bumping it as I sat on my best friend's (still.grimey's Killah Cameron) roof on the Lower East Side, while we were shooting the shit, eating slices, and killing brews. And as we sat amongst the suffocating humidity, five stories above the inescapable sounds of sirens and hustle, I remember thinking: "There is no place else, in the entire world, that I would rather be at this given moment of time, and it's going to take an act of god to keep me from living in this shit someday." Please believe that by the time I got back to the Left Coast, this track was getting listened to every time I put hands on my iPod.
Fast forward to present day. It's week six of my ten week term, and I'm grinding in the Knight Library on the University of Oregon campus. I've been lightweight unmotivated all quarter and I've got an Accounting 352: Financial Reporting II mid-term tomorrow at 2:00 pm. I take a quick break to peep a couple blogs. First I find a new Jeezy track that just dropped today, so I stop, drop, and cop it. Next I scroll down to find the video for my summer anthem. This shit is so ill, it serves as (at least temporarily) major inspiration for me to get back on the scholastic grustle so I can make enough power moves to land myself in the illest city on earth sometime in the not to distant future.
Right back like I left something.

The Elephant in the Room: Eldrick Woods

Recently, a fellow still.grimey blogger mentioned that Tiger Woods "is only human, and that he feels remorse." Hmm, how sad. It turns out humans are prone to sleeping with double digit amounts of women (Yes we're getting close to the teens now people) while married. Save me the "human" crap, Tiger is about as far from human as any professional athlete I know. The only time the guy even cared about us caring about him, was when he was flashing his white teeth in front of the Gilette cameras, or doing a one-on-one interview with Jim Nancy Pants Nantz after birdie-ing the 18th to win The Masters.

Condoms and NFL Week 14 Picks

Why do I feel so embarrassed when I buy condoms? I should feel proud, elated, and frankly focused more on my impending task - getting down. This last situation may be the crux of the problem. There's a common misconception that anyone buying condoms is immediately rushing home to use the entire pack. Whether it's a 3-pack, 12-pack, or a Costco-pack we just assume anyone carrying condoms is going to get laid within minutes, numerous times, with numerous people, and numerous fetishes. Not so. For instance, I'm an avid arts-N-crafts hobbyist and I use the latex from condoms to stretch around toy mobiles to create a large model planet Earth inhabited by Bubble-Boys and Bubble-Girls.

Starbucks and NFL Week 13 Picks

I went to Starbucks this morning before class. I never go to Starbucks unless my girlfriend bribes me with a free coffee, or I have to meet some random person I met on Craigslist. I'm not talking about random ass hookers like the kind Tiger meets on Craigslist. I'm talking about shit like, "I dropped my phone in the toilet and let's just say I wasn't standing up when it happened and now I need to go to craigslist.com for a fucking replacement."

Essentially here are my only three reasons for ever going into a Starbucks:
1. I have a midterm/project/exam in class and I need to grab a coffee or tea (yeah I drink tea sometimes, deal with it).
2. My girlfriend tells me she'll buy me a coffee if I go inside with her.
3. I have to meet some random person that I met on Craigslist.

"I call my brother son cause he shine like one."

They were grimey then : Bag(left) and Bard(strapped) circa 2006

Much like Mef and his Clan brethren, the good people of still.grimey roll deep with their homies from way back. In the last week, I have been fortunate enough to enlist the (much needed) services of two of my best boys from back home. You know them as JAM and (Killah) Cameron, I know them as Bag and Bard.Read more »
